I'm a high-mileage, orthotic wearing, over-supinator. Tried the Saucony Progrid Triumph 7, Nike Vomero, Pearl Izumi SynchroFloat without success (Pearls were best of those three by far). But the new Glycerin is a perfect balance of neutral cushioning that reminds me what it's like to love running again. I replaced the laces with bungees and that helps alleviate any pressure on the top of my foot. Have logged 50 miles and am cautiously hopeful!

I have extremely high arches and have a hard time finding a good cushioned shoe. I loved the feel of these so much I wore them for a 10k the day after I bought them. I've been recovering from a hip pain caused by a pair of shoes that didn't work out. No pain with these, had a great run and felt like I could have done another one after! I wasn't anxious to take them off when I finished, that is a good sign too.

I am a lightweight female runner using an orthotic and I love the Glycerin 7. The Glycerin 8 is also a great shoe. For my build, both models are a safe, sturdy, workhorse shoe, yet they're agile and never feel clunky or too heavy. Sweet! The 8 seems to have a little more cushion in the forefront and ride a little higher. It is right at the edge of feeling mushy, but it isn't. It feels slightly less stable than the 7. I probably like the 7 better, but the 8 is still a great shoe.

I'm a heavy runner, getting back into jogging after a winter off. ~200 lbs., 5'10", size 10 foot. Neutral plus, slight underpronator when tired, ~10-15 miles per week. Previous brands that fit me have been Saucony (roomy toebox), Nike depending on the model (they tend to run too narrow on my rather wide forefoot). My last shoe was Nike's Vomero Zoom 4+ ... it wore out way too fast for my size body though quite cushiony, so I was looking for a more durable neutral cushioned shoe. The fit rep in the store was very knowledgeable about women's shoes, a runner herself, so she recommended the Brooks Glycerin, I've not tried this brand before. I tested it side-by-side in store with the Saucony, New Balance, Adidas for Neutral +, this one fit the best of all. I particularly like that it has cushion in both forefoot and heel, and forefoot has a curve up for better/faster pushoff, actually makes for a faster feeling shoe, lighter running feel. It also means that you should likely go up a half size, I needed to go up to a 10.5, first time I've had to do that in a shoe. Very lightweight, which I like, not clunky at all, quite comfortable. Tongue has a notch for the front of the shin, which many shoes don't, so I appreciate that and don't feel it pushing on my leg during the run. Am a bit concerned about the arch support, I have very high arches, and my left arch started feeling a bit achy, so I will need to watch that and see if it starts giving me problems... have been running on the shoe for 2 weeks now and there hasn't been any "breaking-in" necessary, good grip, not too tight or loose on the heel, roomy toebox. So far I am very pleased with the fit. (Moderators: sorry I posted this review on the grey model, I have this one, the blue.)

I have hard to fit feet, bunions and a wide foot. These shoes do not hurt my feet like every other pair of shoes I have tried. I am so happy that I tried these and would recommend them to anyone who has a hard time finding shoes that feel great.

Love this shoe!! I pre-ordered mine, the when I received them I was sooo happy with the fit and comfort! I am training for 1st marathon in May, and ordered a 2nd pair to last throughout training! May order a third for the actual race!!

These are my all time fav running shoes! They are comfortable, breath well and have a slightly wider toe box which I love in helping to avoid the loss of toenails or the bruising of them. These shoes are now on the endangered list so my best advise is stock up!!!

I run outide between 25-30 miles per week and have high arches. The first 2 runs, about 3 miles in my arches started to cramp, so don't try these out for the first few times in a race. Otherwise, they have been great. I really like to colors too. I have only have them for about 2 1/2 weeks, so I'm not sure about durability, but I am a Brooks consumer and the others have been VERY durable.

This shoe is perfect. I have been running over 30 years and this shoe is by far the best. I have so much problem finding shoes that will work for me.I am so disappointed that they are upgrading to a new model. This shoe is perfect as it is. In my opinion there is nothing they can do to make it any better

I just bought 3 pairs as my others were a year old. I hate to part with them. Love these so much I also bought my 22, 24, 26 year old pairs of the same. Love these sneakers and I can put orthodics in them as well.

From the moment I tried on this shoe it was perfect. I had always heard that when you find the right shoe you would know it. I never believe it until I found this one. This was my 4th attempt at finding the right shoe. I finally think I got it right. I did buy a whole size larger than my regular size even though the sales person said that a 1/2 size would be good. I had a bad experience with another shoe that I did not want to repeat. Great shoe.

I'm a phys Ed teacher always on my feet and this shoe is perfect. Great comfort and support. Good shock absorption especially as we are skipping and I haven't gotten sore feet/hip/back. Great price too.

I love these sneakers Please Please keep them. I finally found the perfect sneaker. They are lightweight, breathable, great indoors(gym) and out, running. I love the color, the feel. These are the best brand and best sneaker, never had a problem in these. I want more!

This shoe is awesome! It combines sufficient durability to run outdoors (on grass, trails, or asphalt) with relative lightness (to push the pace if you like), yet is so comfortable; you feel as if you're running on pillows! While I have a relatively high arch, this shoe has felt great right from the first step. It's provided enough support for me to run either heel-toe (slower pace) or on my midfoot (faster pace) with no discomfort. This is my second pair, and I love them!

Brooks Glycerin is the most comfortable running shoe I've ever worn! They are very cushy yet lightweight and breathe well. The only negative is that the Glycerin seems to run very wide for a B width. My feet slide from side to side inside the shoes unless I wear very thick Thorlo socks; then they fit perfectly!

I've been wearing the Brooks Glycerin for a few years and they just keep getting better and better. I run 40-50 miles a week and they've been great. Even with bunions on both my feet, I've had plenty of room and no pain. These shoes easily last 400-450 miles.

I'm using these shoes to train for my first half marathon. In the store, none of the other shoes felt quite right, until I tried these on. From the moment I put these on, I fell in love! The shoe is designed to keep you running off your heels and I love the way I glide in these. They fit true to form to me and I've had no problems wearing them.

I love my Glycerins. I alternate between Ghost 3s and Glycerins and on days I run in the Glyercins my feet and legs feel great!I am a supinator and am heavy on my feet and other than they wear out fast- I have nothing bad to say about this shoe-Next time I am buying two pairs!

The first time I ordered these, I went with a size 9B (my usual running shoe size). Although I loved the cushioning, my toenails turned black. I then tried a size 9D, because my foot is wide. and I was afraid if the shoe was too long, the heel would slip. Well, the 9Ds didn't work either - my arch felt unsupported. Finally, I took the plunge and tried the 9.5 B, and it worked. Now I'm in love with this shoe. I run about 40-60 miles a week, and something about the way the shoe is designed helps to keep me off of my heels when running (I can tell by the wear patterns on the sole). But again, the shoes run very short, so choose your size wisely.

I wore these, straight out of the box, for a 5K last winter and it was my fastest 5K in nearly 4 years. I felt great in these shoes ... felt like I was running on spongey pillows. I felt fast so I ran fast ... so better for short course over distances (I don't like longterm redlining).
